I have an IDS 7.30 on SCO 5.0.5. IDS use raw devices. I use ontape -s -L 0 for backups. How could I recover a copy of level 0 in another machine? This machine has less space in disk that the production machine, but I only strictly need restore a table and this table is the only object in a dbspace. Thanks in advance.

You can only restore the level 0 if you have a disk configuration that matches that of the production server EXACTLY in terms of chunk names and sizes.
